| I get my best sound from the Roland Cube when I plug in my extension cab EPS-15C. Not too surprising, since the EPS speaker was designed for pedal steel. The owner's manual says to use 8 ohm speaker or less on the ext speaker jack, and the EPS is 4 ohm. But I'm wondering if it's really OK to gig with it that way? Is anyone else using the Cube with an extension cab? |

Yes it's OK... The speakers end up in series, so the lower the ohms the better. Your 15 is taking 60% of the power... even better.

| I don't even have my 15 in a cabinet yet, just sitting on the floor. Haven't gigged it yet either, but I will. I was wondering what the hook up was. Thanks Stephen. |

If you want to use the cube as a pre for the NV1000 then yes, you can use a regular guitar cord. If you want to splice into the BW speaker then no, you can't use a regular guitar cord... you'll have to disconnect the NV1000 amp from the speaker, cut a speaker cord, and connect it to the BW (I've done this). Otherwise just plug from the headphone/recording output of the cube into the pwrAmp in of the NV1000.

I'm confused... are we just talking about guitar into amp? What tapping is happening?

Sounds to me like you're hitting the amp input too hard... the clipping is what you're calling 'tapping'.
If you've got a low-gain input on the amp I'd use that... or just always put a VP in between.
